ABOUT ME

As the MegalithHunter, I explore my fascination with the megalith builders. These prehistoric ancients went to tremendous efforts to move stones weighing tonnes and although there are many theories as to why they did this, there’s no ultimate explanation for it. After many years in business, I returned to study, graduating with a Master of Arts in Mediterranean Studies from the University of Malta. This interdisciplinary course of study has helped me develop the methodology I use as an independent researcher and writer.
